Pergola Perfection

The word pergola is derived from the Latin word “pergula” which refers to a “projecting eave”, commonly found as an extended roof or arbor. It's a really FUN word to say and a really nice addition to your Atlanta patio: A Pergola!

According to gazebocreations.com, Pergolas
have stood the test of time. Although their styles, materials, and name
may have changed, their purpose has remained the same for over 3000
years. The earliest known surviving garden plan, dating back to about
1400 BC belonged to an Egyptian high court official of Thebes; details a
pergola over the entry way into the garden. What inspired the creation of pergolas is
debatable, perhaps it was purely for their aesthetic beauty, or maybe
motivated by the weather. The truth is that they are able to provide
both functions wonderfully, and thus have become a timeless entity.

Pergolas
have served many purposes throughout time. Pergolas have served as
beautiful hanging gardens for the rich elite. Pergolas have also served
as a functional means for certain species of harvestable vegetation to
grow for the common worker, and even provided a means for vining plants
to climb for the backyard enthusiast. They have been elegant shade
structures, protecting all types of people from the harshness of the
sun’s rays, or fury of an April storm. Pergolas have come a long way
since their creation, and are no longer reserved for just the rich
elite.
